Open a Winlink session using any mode you prefer.
Use any gateway you prefer.
You can check in at any time of the month. We encourage you to try different modes and different gateways at different times of the day. Since the purpose of the net is to check radios and gateways, please limit Telnet checkins.
At the end of the month we send out a report showing everyone who has checked in.
This way you can see who is using Winlink and which gateways, frequencies and modes they have used.
